We're so sad to hear about Blue Man Group closing in Chicago after a nearly 30 year run. HMS created this montage for the Chicago company, and it's a great reminder of the fun you can still experience at the Briar Street Theatre through January 5.

HMS' co-founder Scott Silberstein's new ARTS IN ACTION blog reminds us that in this election, freedom of speech is on the line. Here's how it begins (click through to keep reading)...
--
"The past week has seen some abdications of responsible journalism alongside some of the ugliest, meanest, and least true stories ever disseminated in our country's history.

But good and true stories are also being told. They may not be fiction, but it doesn't have to be fiction to be a work of art.

Freedom of expression is an essential right. Honest and accurate storytelling manifests that right. And that makes the art of storytelling essential.

There are those vying for power in the upcoming elections who, if they win, will attempt to wield their power by trying to stop truth-seeking storytellers from sharing their stories. Some will want those storytellers locked up, or worse. That’s not my opinion; it’s their stated intent.

Believe me when I say that freedom of speech is most definitely on the ballot, and we must vote to protect it. (Click hereto find your nearest polling place and get access to all relevant information about voting in this election.)

In that spirit, Arts in Action today celebrates artists who pursue and convey the truth through the art of narrative storytelling.

I’ve chosen to spotlight Isabel Wilkerson’s "Caste," Resmaa Menakem’s "My Grandmother’s Hands,"
Heather Cox Richardson’s "Democracy Awakening," and
Amanda Ripley’s "High Conflict." These visionary authors profoundly shaped my worldview over these last four years, and these books are as compelling to me as some of my favorite novels and short stories.

Click through to read about minds-at-work that have shaped our world for the better. Their words crackle. Their electrifying stories are game-changers. They are Artists in Action."

Today Arts In Action celebrates brilliant practitioners of the written word, artists in action who daily inspire us to our better angels and inspire us to do good.
